A lot of people ask me what I do to prepare for photo shoots and events to feel confident and look my best. I've never been shy about sharing my short-term exercise and nutrition habits before big occasions. But let's get one thing straight. The rest of the year, I practice a balanced approach to health and fitness. I treat my body with love and respect by eating mainly whole, unprocessed foods, taking daily vitamins and supplements, and staying active. The week before a shoot is just a little umph to give my abs a bit more definition. So don't expect any crash diet secrets here. Hello! Do you even know me? Life is too short to go without chocolate , wine,

The 12 Days of Fitness Challenge is almost over! I've had so much fun working out with you over the past 10 days. Have you? It sure seems like it! I'm so impressed with your hard work and dedication to the challenge. I can't get over how awesome all of your check-ins have been. Interval training is getting a lot of press for it's fat-burning results. And, that's because it works!

This creates an EPOC, or an excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in your body. What you get is an amazing "after-burn" affect. Your metabolism will be on FIRE for hours after

For the past few months I've been working on something very personal to me. It personifies my personality, conveys the Life in Spandex message, and (I hope!) creates a connection with women everywhere. Jeese, it's hard to put all of those things into a tiny little....

*Disclaimer: Brooks Running sent me free gear in exchange for this blog post. However, all opinions and statements are my own. I truly love this brand! About three months ago I hobbled into Sports Authority (oh man, and still wearing my personal training uniform), pressing deep into my hip trying to alleviate a muscle spasm. Apparently, this is what it takes to persuade me that I need new running shoes. I walked to the back of the store to the shoe department and told the sales person to give me their best pair for running. He brought me shoes with an emblem I recognized because one of my personal training clients wears them. She's an excellent competitive runner, so I had high

There’s a lot to love about fall. The leaves break out into deep hues of orange and red, kitchens fill with the aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg and chilly nights are the perfect excuse to cuddle up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and a movie. However, fall also brings dry, cold air and moisture-sucking heaters that can wreak havoc on your skin. It’s important to take action as soon as the first leaves drop to avoid waking up in the middle of winter with dry, flaky, tight skin that you can barely tolerate.
